Cramping during early pregnancy

Hi,

I am just over 3 weeks pg and have been getting af style cramping on and off for the last couple of days. I have also been getting very sharp stabbing pains in the groin area and constant lower back pain (I am constantly thinking af is coming).

Totally normal, it feels like you will get your period - i have had this every time i have been pregnant, even more so than when i am not pregnant. Don't worry, it all sounds totally normal & congrats.

WOW, congrats puffs!! That's awesome news.. I believe cramping, bloating and general aches and pains in early pregnancy are normal. I know I had a heap, and strangely right about when AF was due they were at their best. All my best wishes are with you!!

I have a question as I am very worried and I was hoping someone might have some idea. I am 28 yo my DH is 35. I have one blocked tube due to scar tissue from a large ovarian cyst whch was removed 3 years ago.

We just finished our first IVF cycle. For all accounts it was successful. We got 13 eggs, 9 fertilised and 6 made it to blastocyst. I found out I was pregnant 2 and a bit weeks ago, My first BT showed hcg levels of 328 and proestorne levels of 1227. My second BT showed HCG levels of 2210 and progestoroene levels of 1117. I am booked in for my fist us on the 4th september but I am petrified it will be a chemical or ecoptic pregnancy. I have had some cramping and I think its more on one side but have had all the usual pregnancy symptoms as well. I have had no spotting or bledding at all. Is this normal? should i be worried? can they tell if its an ecoptic or chemical from your hcg levels?

Hi POH ,

I think this all sounds normal. I had cramping and found I felt it more on the left. I had no bleeding at all. Chemical I don't think your hcg would get that high. I think you would be in a lot of pain with an ectopic, not just period style cramps. Also, I think worrying about every twinge is normal.. All the best
